| Detachable Head shell or Not? The correct answer to your question requires that you first know yourself. Very true. I am fussing around a lot less with system tweaking these days. After a tonearm/cartridge update in a week or so, I just want to put a record on the player an... | |
| Detachable Head shell or Not? Thank you everyone here for sharing their positive experience, convenience and happiness with removable head shell arms. One other thing - tonearm cables. Many years ago I tried several tonearm cables and have been using the Stealth Hyperphono f... | |
| Tube preamp enhancement of HT processor sound Seems alot better to use tubes for ht via pass thru preamp.Why? Really? What is the actual benefit of tubes in a musical based system?When we hear a well implemented tube-based system vs. any solid state system, perhaps the SS system costing mu... | |

| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree You were only supposed to respond if you disagree. And I disagree - I'll take Realistic over his listed brands. | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo I will wait for the Mk II version. | |
| SF vs Raidho Don’t agree... i believe every high-end brand has specific sound characteristics that make them different being all other peripherals constant..Well, I hate to give you the bad news, but there is no clear house sound for SF. I tried a few models ... | |
| SF vs Raidho @hakano - If you narrow down a model of each brand that you are considering, that would help. Or specify a price range, bookshelf size vs. floor standing, etc. Then people with such experience/trials within the context would provide value here. ... | |

| AR LS17SE Volume Control You need to do some research on the gain of the Edge amp. The issue is not so much about line stage output impedance and amp's input impedance, but rather the voltage output of the line stage and gain / input-sensitivity of the amp. What is the ... | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? Thats why all my stuff is from the same manufacturer Yawn. Tubed or solid state. A great tubed pre- is going to be expensive, but you can pair it with a relatively inexpensive ss power amp and get amazing results. +10 Matching amps and spe... | |
| Wobbly XLR Connectors on Pass X250.8. What to do? Pop the top off and tighten the screws on the connectors. Maybe put a dab of loctite on there too. This can't be that difficult and is surely a lot less painful than boxing it up to take back to the dealer for them to do. | |
| Can anybody be a speaker designer? ................or President | |
| Who makes super quiet XLRs around $1k? For under $1k, seriously consider the Silent Source Signature. The top model, the SS Music Reference, brings on much more of the ambiance that you mentioned, but the Signature is a heck of a great start. It will handily destroy the lower priced ... | |
| Best match for Gershman Black Swans Changing from the Odyssey amps to something else is a sideways move! The Odyssey amps are the same circuit design as the expensive made-in-Germany Symphonic Line amps. A much different conclusion here. In the early 2000’s, I read hints/rumors of t... |
